And by that mean at a given point in time.
How Grace looks in this movie could explain why Ranier wanted to make her a princess.
That given point and now. I forgot how beautiful she really was... a timeless beauty.
shareGrace Kelly was absolutely gorgeous. But I cannot help but be bitter toward that heel Rainier for taking Grace away and cutting her career short.
Dalton and Craig! Accept NO substitutes!
Cant believe no one has mentioned the incredibly lovely Greta Garbo.
shareI've read through all these posts looking for someone to mention Veronica Lake, especially in Sullivan's Travels. She was 5' tall (not 5'2" as Alan Ladd pretended - to make hime look taller) and for a good part of the film she is dressed as a boy. Wow! But perhaps I am just a DOM.
Interestingly, Sullivan (a director) is traveling with the objective of making a movie to be called O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Oh, I also think that Veronica Lake is beautiful. I think she is underrated as a matter of fact. I first fell for Lake in The Blue Dahlia.

I also think that Veronica Lake is beautiful. I think she is underrated as a matter of factShe was stunning in a cute kinda of way. And her acting was good if not great. share
And by that I mean at a given point in time.I know what you mean although my opinion has changed. At one time (after I first saw her in Rear Window) I thought Grace was the perfect vision of beauty. But after a while, and especially after seeing this movie, I went off her completely because she suddenly struck me as cold and remote - more than remote, empty - as in worse than a shallow vessel. Strange, and perhaps especially so, since the 'coolly remote' blonde was something Hitchcock (and many others) love so much. Perhaps he got exactly the look he was after in To Catch a Thief and this turned me off of her simply because it's not my thing.
Kim Novak in Vertigo was incredible, but if I had to put up competition for Kelly in this movie...it would be two very different choices --- Rita Hayworth in Only Angels Have Wings and Elisha Cuthbert in the Girl Next Door.

Grace Kelly is the classiest woman ever. I also love : Audrey, Romy Schneider and Carole Lombard.
No there wasn't. And there never will be either.
